Journal ArticleDOI

Adult height and the risk of cause-specific death and vascular morbidity in 1 million people: individual participant meta-analysis

David Wormser, +271 more
TL;DR: Adult height has directionally opposing relationships with risk of death from several different major causes of chronic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

A prospective study of dietary patterns, meat intake and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: Findings suggest that pre-pregnancy dietary patterns may affect women’s risk of developing GDM, and a diet high in red and processed meat was associated with a significantly elevated risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and Validation of an Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Index

TL;DR: The EDII represents a novel, hypothesis-driven, empirically derived dietary pattern that assesses diet quality based on its inflammatory potential and may be calculated in a standardized and reproducible manner across different populations thus circumventing a major limitation of dietary patterns derived from the same study in which they are applied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened and Artificially Sweetened Beverages and Risk of Mortality in US Adults

TL;DR: Consumption of SSBs was positively associated with mortality primarily through CVD mortality and showed a graded association with dose and the positive association between high intake levels of ASBs and total andCVD mortality observed among women requires further confirmation.

Genomic analyses identify hundreds of variants associated with age at menarche and support a role for puberty timing in cancer risk

Felix R. Day, +215 more
TL;DR: Using 1000 Genomes Project–imputed genotype data in up to ∼370,000 women, 389 independent signals for age at menarche, a milestone in female pubertal development are identified, highlighting the complexity of the genetic regulation of puberty timing and support causal links with cancer susceptibility.
